This would go really well with https://cyclone.thelanguage.org/.

This project looks awesome, though I'm a bit sad that "performance" is a non-goal as stated in the README. Clojure being able to compile to a single shippable binary is just what I need in my life. Kudos to the author.

Can do that with Graal these days: https://github.com/BrunoBonacci/graalvm-clojure/blob/master/...

babashka also has a performance non-goal

Hey! That's my name! :) Incidentally, I also have a small language also implemented in Go although it's actually called "🃏".

So it's a Clojure REPL and linter/formatter? Why have REPL at all then?

The Eclipse Public License is a showstopper for me. :(

It's quite common in Clojure circles. Care to elaborate? Not copyleft?
